“My message to the world is that we need to show a bit more love”
“Love Yourself Beyond the Likes” – Tiwa Savage Urges Fans to See Beyond Social Media Illusions
Afrobeats superstar and global icon Tiwa Savage is calling on fans to embrace authenticity, self-love, and personal growth in a world increasingly shaped by filtered realities and digital pressure.
In a heartfelt interview with Dose of Society, Savage opened up about the emotional toll of social media, emphasizing the importance of self-worth beyond the curated content seen online.
“My message to the world is that we need to show a bit more love,” Savage said. “Especially when we look at social media, I just see things that are make-believe. We all know it’s not real, but we’re still putting pressure on ourselves when all we need to do is love a little bit more.”
The award-winning singer stressed that platforms like Instagram and TikTok often portray an incomplete version of people’s lives, leading many to unfairly compare themselves to others.
“When you put things into perspective, you’ll start appreciating yourself more. Live in the moment,” she advised.
Savage also reflected on personal growth and the lessons she would share with her younger self, encouraging independence, resilience, and self-discovery.
“Figure it out, get up and figure it out. I know you think everyone has the manual for life. The only thing you owe yourself is to wake up, be present and try,” she said. “Even if you fail or win, you’d figure it out. Nobody has your life; we may have examples and templates and people we look up to, but nobody has your exact dreams, so figure it out for yourself.”
Her words come at a time when mental health advocates and public figures alike are pushing back against unrealistic digital ideals and encouraging more grounded, holistic living.
With her signature grace and vulnerability, Tiwa Savage continues to use her voice for more than music—reminding fans that being present, real, and loving themselves deeply is the true definition of success. Read More
